    Is it next to a bird? That looks like a bird.

      Unbelievably, the hieroglyph next to the bird is a bee. It’s like whoever designed it had never seen a bee, but had them described by someone who knew someone whose cousin was stung by a bee that one time.

        Maybe bees looked different, 5000 years ago on a different continent?

            These could be the antenae. I mean, carving into stone doesn’t really lend itself well for high-res depictions.

    Cute, but isn’t bird poop errossive AF? Should probably eliminate the infestation.

      Living things > inanimate objects.

      We’ve destroyed their habitat, so they have to go somewhere.
